My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 2766

Chapter 2766

The living room was now empty, save for Stanley, who appeared to be somewhat depressed and lonely.

Leaning back against the couch, Stanley sat in silence, as if contemplating something. It was only after fifteen minutes that he stood, as if he had made a decision, and returned to his room.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were watching Nolan, who was playing his game. Jared was also holding Lana, who was leaning against his shoulder, her eyes heavy with sleep.

"Daddy, I want to go to bed." Lana rested on Jared's shoulder with her eyes closed, unable to stay awake anymore.

After shooting Nicole a glance, Jared said, "I'll take Lana back to sleep."

"Okay." Nicole agreed, her attention returning to the computer screen.

Nolan's gameplay seemed ordinary, much like a typical levelbased game. However, Nicole could tell that something was off about it.

"Yay!" Nolan cheered loudly, snapping Nicole out of it.

Seeing that Nolan had completed the level, she reminded him, "It's getting late, and your sister has already gone to sleep. It's time for you to get ready for bed too."

"Okay, Mommy." Nolan obediently shut the computer down, and went off to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Nolan was done washing up, he changed into his pajamas, Nicole, who was sitting on the bedside, then tucked him under the covers.

"Nolan, where did you find this game?" Nicole asked softly.

"It came up to me as a pop-up window while I was surfing the internet one day. I thought it carried no risks, so I downloaded it. I found it to be quite fun." Nolan answered with his brows raised.

"Mommy, is there something wrong with the game?" he asked. 'Why is it that Mommy seems really concerned with the game? Mommy rarely cares about these things.'

Not wanting to tell Nolan anything, Nicole simply smiled and said, "It's nothing. Go to sleep early."

"Nolan said he checked it, and there was malware or viruses attached. He only downloaded it because he thought it was safe to play."

She believed Nolan would not be wrong about such matters. In fact, he was quite capable of steering clear of viruses on his own.

"If there are no risks and it's just an ordinary game, what makes you feel that something is off?" Jared asked Nicole again.

Nicole frowned, and murmured as she contemplated it. "The game seems ordinary, with no special gameplay, but I just feel like there's something..."

After a sudden pause, Nicole looked at Jared and said, "I know now."

And just like that, she had figured out what the reason was. She had thought about it and finally realized that this game, while appearing ordinary and unsuspecting, actually concealed something within.

She remembered that Nolan would use a decryption code whenever he cleared a level. 'How could such a game be ordinary?'
